You memorize your RSA keys?
you memorize the password required to decrypt whatever container your RSA key is in. Hopefully.
Sure but we aren't talking about that
I think this specific chain of replies is talking about that actually.. though it is a pretty big tangent from the original post
"can you string words to form a valid RSA key"
"Yes this is the most secure way to do it"
"No, it's not when there is a fixed byte length"
-> where we are now
the direct chain I can see is
"can you string words to form a valid RSA key"
"I would hope so, [xkcd about password strength]"
"words are the least secure way to generate random bytes"
"Good luck remembering random bytes. That infographic is about memorable passwords."
"You memorize your RSA keys?"
so between comments 2 and 3 and 4 I'd say it soundly went past the handcrafted RSA key stuff.
